Criminal Trespassing and Resisting Arrest Reduced For College Student
Published: Dec 07, 2015, by in Crimes Against Peace & Public, Property CrimesIL v. VL
A junior at a nationally known university in Cook County was recently charged with criminal trespassing of a vehicle and resisting arrest. The 20-year-old student was looking at serious penalties if convicted of these charges. Attempting to combat these issues prior to his pending graduation, the student entrusted Chicago criminal attorney Michael O’Meara to his serious case.
His client’s resisting arrest charge as it stood was not eligible for supervision. However, under attorney Michael O’Meara’s extensive legal knowledge and guidance, this charge was reduced to simple battery, thereby giving him supervision and making it expungeable after only a short period of time. The young student also saw a dismissal of the criminal trespassing charge against him.
The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
